Left side: The aortic valve is on the left side of the heart where oxygenated blood leaves the left ventricle through it into the aorta and the rest of the circulation.

Arterial : The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta. It is the gateway for oxygenated blood to travel from the heart to the body.
